Transformation of Environmental Bacillus subtilis Isolates by Transiently Inducing Genetic Competence [PDF]
, 2010 Domesticated laboratory strains of Bacillus subtilis readily take up and integrate exogenous DNA. In contrast, ‘‘wild’’ ancestors or Bacillus strains recently isolated from the environment can only be genetically modified by phage transduction ...

Growth phase variation in cell and nucleoid morphology in a Bacillus subtilis recA mutant [PDF]
, 2001 The major role of RecA is thought to be in helping repair and restart stalled replication forks. During exponential growth, Bacillus subtilis recA cells exhibited few microscopically observable nucleoid defects.

The Bacillus subtilis stressosome:A signal integration and transduction hub [PDF]
, 2008 The stressosome is a unique mediator of inducible gene expression in a wide variety of bacterial species. The 1.8 MDa stressosome complex in Bacillus subtilis is a key signal transducer in the environmental stress response of the bacterium, its ...

Definition of the σW regulon of Bacillus subtilis in the absence of stress [PDF]
, 2012 Bacteria employ extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factors for their responses to environmental stresses. Despite intensive research, the molecular dissection of ECF sigma factor regulons has remained a major challenge due to overlaps in the ECF sigma

The Iturin and Fengycin Families of Lipopeptides Are Key Factors in Antagonism of Bacillus subtilis Toward Podosphaera fusca [PDF]
, 2007 Podosphaera fusca is the main causal agent of cucurbit powdery mildew in Spain. Four Bacillus subtilis strains, UMAF6614, UMAF6619, UMAF6639, and UMAF8561, with proven ability to suppress the disease on melon in detached leaf and seedling assays, were ...

The protein tyrosine kinases EpsB and PtkA differentially affect biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
, 2014 The Gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis is able to choose between motile and sessile lifestyles. The sessile way of life, also referred to as biofilm, depends on the formation of an extracellular polysaccharide matrix and some extracellular ...

Functional analysis of the competence transcription factor ComK of Bacillus subtilis by characterization of truncation variants [PDF]
, 2005 The competence transcription factor ComK is the master regulator of competence development in Bacillus subtilis. In the regulatory pathway, ComK is involved in different interactions: (i) protein–DNA interactions to stimulate transcription of ComK ...
